A: N: Disclaimer: I do not own Rookie Blue I only own the story I am writing.
A: N: 2: after re reading my story heat of the moment, I decided to do a squeal to it. I am not sure how long this story will be, but at the moment I will go with the flow and see how it ends up.
This story will be set a year after the last chapter of heat of the moment.
Andy and Sam have been married for two years now, Daniel is now 2 and their daughter is Gracie is nearly one.
I hope you all enjoy this story as much as you did with Heat of the Moment.
Sam was ready to go home. After a long day at work, all he wanted to do was go home to his family.
Sam smiled at the thought of his family. He never thought he would be this happy in his life at all. But he knew that Meeting Andy McNally four years ago would change his life. But back then, he just didn't know how much that one person could change his life.
Sam smiled at the thought of his daughter's first birthday. Gracie was 10 months old today, and he couldn't believe how much she had grown up in the last 10 months.
Sam was now a detective. After a long talk with Andy about it, he finally decided to make some changes.
It wasn't that he didn't like being a training officer, or a officer at all, it was just he wanted a bit of a change, and with being married and having 2 small children, he wanted to be there for everything when it came to his wife and kids. He knew that Andy was a bit worried that their kids would grow up the way the she did, so they decided together to make some changes in both of their careers.
Andy was now training to be a training officer herself. But because Gracie was still so young, she decided to only work 3 days a week for now, until she was used to working again and so that Gracie could get used to being in day care a few times a week.
Sam finally was home and as he walked out of his truck to go inside, he smiled at the smell of dinner cooking.
As soon as Sam entered the lounge room, Daniel came running towards him, like every other afternoon.
That was another thing that changed. Sam tried not to work back late anymore.
"Daddy", Daniel yelled as Sam crouched down to his son. Sam picked up his son and hugged him tight. Sam noticed Gracie on the floor on her Belly playing with some toys. Sam smiled at this.
"Hey Kiddo", Sam said softly to his son. He kissed his sons forehead and started tickling him. Daniel laughed as Sam bought them both in the lounge room.
Sam sat down with his son on the lounge room floor and placed his son down for a moment while he went to his daughter and kissed her on the forehead. "Hey daddy's little girl", he whispered to his daughter.
Andy came out of the kitchen and smiled at the scene in front of her.
Sam looked up and saw Andy and winked over at her.
Andy made her way over to her small family and picked up Daniel and sat down next to Sam and placed Daniel in her lap. She leaned over and to Sam and kissed him softly on the lips.
"Hey you", she whispered to him and leaned her forehead against his.
"Daddy, mommy is making chippies and nuggets for dinner", Daniel said as he jumped up and down excitedly. Sam looked over at his wife, who was shrugging her shoulders at him and he smirked at her.
Sam grabbed Daniel off Andy and placed him on his lap and started tickling his son.
Daniel was only two, so he still wasn't talking much, which worried Andy a bit, but Sam just told her to keep an eye on him for a bit.
Andy got up to get the rest of dinner ready. Sam knew something was up straight away. He closed his eyes for a moment and kissed his son's forehead.
Sam put his son on the lounge and once again kissed his forehead.
"Okay buddy, you can watch some cartoons until dinner is ready", Sam said as he put the TV on. He turned around and grinned at his son who was jumping up and down excitedly.
Sam took a deep breath as he entered the kitchen. He went to the fridge and grabbed a beer and stood next to Andy near the stove waiting for her to speak.
"I'm sorry", she said straight away. Sam looked over at her confused.
"He didn't really eat much today, so I let him choose dinner, and because nuggets are his favorite", she rambled on. Sam shook his head and grabbed her arms to bring her closer to him.
He felt her relax and he hugged her.
"Tell me", He whispered to her.
Andy shook her head.
"Andy, tell me", he said one more time.
Andy took a deep breath and looked at her husband.
"They want me to work more, five days a week", Andy said sighing looking at her kids carefully.
Sam knew this would happen soon. After all, Gracie was almost one.
Sam put his bottle of beer down and walked slowly over to his wife and wrapped his arms around her slowly.
Andy relaxed more in his arms.
"They will be okay Andy", he said softly in her ear.
Andy turned around and looked at her husband.
"I know, they will be", Andy said.
"What is it?" Sam asked her carefully.
For a few minutes, Andy didn't say anything she just kept looking between the kids and Sam.
She didn't have to say anything; Sam knew what she was thinking.
He slowly walked up next to her and wrapped his arms around her one more time.
"Kids first Andy, job comes second", He whispered into her ear.
Andy smiled at nodded her head.
He smirked back and leaned in and kissed her.
Everything will be okay.
That night, after dinner, and the kids were in bed, Andy and Sam were in bed, and legs tangled together, both breathing heavily from their actives in the bed.
"Wow", Andy said eventually, still breathing heavily.
Sam faced her, moving a piece of hair out of her face and smirked at her.
"Not holy moly"? He said teasing her. Andy smirked back at him and rolled on top of him and kissed him softly again.
They kissed until they both needed air.
Sam kept playing with her hair, not wanting to let go of her just yet.
"I know they will be okay, we will be okay", she said softly.
Sam frowned at this. He knew something was up.
"What are you so worried about?" he asked her moving another piece of hair off her face.
Andy went to move off him, but Sam wouldn't let go of her.
Andy sighed.
"I know I'm not my mum or my dad", Andy said carefully.
And Sam realized what was going on in her head.
"No you're not", he said carefully.
"I'm not", Andy said repeating him.
"everything will be okay Andy, were a team", always will be", he said letting go of her and moving her so she was off him.
Andy kissed him one more time and just lay with him until she was asleep.
Sam played with her hair for a bit until he fell asleep too.
